Well I think the pre-existing condition thing is going to backfire too. Only people with lots of money will get covered for it. People with little money won't be able to afford the premiums they'll charge! I don't think there was a limit on that put in the bill....if you are already sick, you still won't be covered unless you have the money to pay for it!
JFC, what a MORON! Starting in 2014, people with prexisting pay exactly the same as everyone else. It's the WHOLE POINT of ACA. Go read something- gad, dupes are arrogant AND totally clueless! The more you listen to the PPM, the less you know...and the bigger your mouth gets...
YOU SAID "people with prexisting pay exactly the same as everyone else."
YOU ARE RIGHT!!
Before Obamacare smokers paid more then non-smokers because smokers get cancer and cancer means treatments which meant more claims be paid out.
So smokers paid more for their bad habits.
NOW under Obamacare... since the insurance companies can't determine i.e. pre-existing you are a smoker, the only way to cover the higher costs of the smoker is to raise the rates for ALL to cover the smokers claims by non-smokers premiums. Does that make sense?? Do you think you should be paying for someone who smokes?
So should the government ban smoking because after all they are charging tanning salons 10% because tanning cause cancer.
And why not then be fair and charge lawyers 10% like tanning salons because they chase ambulances and experts say fear of lawsuits cause $850 billion a year in duplicate tests,etc.
So if the premise is NO pre-existing conditions, then there should be NO lawsuits right??
